Paint sample patches on more than one wall and look at them across the day — colours shift dramatically between morning, afternoon and artificial light. What looks perfect in the store can look very different at home.
Whole-home flow
Pick a simple, cohesive palette that flows room to room rather than a different bold colour in every space. Neutrals on the main walls with accents in smaller areas age well.
Exteriors and the street
For exteriors, consider the roof, brick and neighbourhood — and remember bold exterior colours can date faster. We can talk through options as part of your quote.

Are dark colours a problem outside?
Dark exterior colours absorb more heat and can show fading — we'll flag any considerations for your surfaces.
Can I supply my own paint?
